The gap
Most advice dies at the handoff.
A strategy is written in one room and executed in another. Between them sits the gap where plans stall: the consultants have left, the engineers were never in the room, and the operation inherits a document.
The deck
Advice.
The strategy, written in one room. Clear, well argued, finished on a Friday.
Where most engagements end.
The plan
A plan.
Dates, owners, dependencies. Now it needs a site, a process, a system and someone to carry it across.
Where most plans stall.
The operation
The work, running.
Built, measured, owned by your people. The people who wrote the plan stayed to build it.
Where we stop.
Olympas closes the gap from the inside. The experts and the engineers come from the same house, the plan gets executed, and you own the result.
The disciplines
Six areas of expertise, around one business: yours.
Each discipline answers its own questions and delivers its own work. The value is where they meet: the site decision that respects the permitting sequence, the process that records what the return will need, the plan that the engineers can build to.
Select a discipline
Project Management
One schedule, one owner, one weekly truth, from the first decision to the handover.
Questions it answers
- Who owns the date, the budget and the decisions?
- What has to be true by when, and what is in the way?
- How do we know, every week, whether it is on track?
What we deliver
- A programme plan with owners, milestones and the critical path
- A weekly cadence: status, risks and decisions on one page
- Vendors and contractors coordinated under one schedule
- A close-out that hands the result to the people who run it
Where it meets the others
- Runs the build-out schedule: permits, contractors, inspections, opening day.
- Sequences a process rollout so the floor is never changed twice.
- Turns a market plan into dated work with owners.
Property & Infrastructure Development
From the site decision to the first day of operations, run as one programme.
Questions it answers
- Where should the next site be, and what will it really cost to open?
- Which permits, inspections and utilities gate the opening date?
- How does the building hand over to the people who will run it?
What we deliver
- Site selection with the operating numbers behind each option
- Permitting coordination: the sequence, the agencies, the dates
- Build-out programme management, from drawings to final inspection
- Fit-out to operations: equipment, systems, staffing, first day
Where it meets the others
- Every site is a programme: one schedule, one owner, one weekly truth.
- Permits, licences and inspections gate the opening date.
- The fit-out is designed around how the operation will actually run.
Business Processes
The process as it actually runs, the process as it should, and the rollout between them.
Questions it answers
- Where does the day stall, and what does each stall cost?
- Which steps exist because of a system, not because of the business?
- What should the process be before we automate any of it?
What we deliver
- The current process, mapped as it actually runs
- The target process, with controls and handoffs decided
- A rollout done with the floor, not to the floor
- The specification the engineers build to
Where it meets the others
- Records and reporting are designed in, not reconstructed at year end.
- Controls and evidence sit inside the process, not beside it.
- A rebuilt process is rolled out as a project, with a date and an owner.
Taxation
Tax-aware design of the strategy, the process and the system, alongside your CPA.
Our tax specialists inform how the strategy, the process and the system are designed, and they work alongside your own CPA. Olympas does not provide tax or accounting advice.
Questions it answers
- Does the system record what the business will need to report?
- Which structures and flows carry tax consequences the design should respect?
- Where do tax considerations change the order of a plan?
What we deliver
- Tax-aware design of processes, records and systems
- Requirements your CPA can review before anything is built
- Reporting built into the operation, not reconstructed after it
- Working sessions with your own tax advisers
Where it meets the others
- How a transaction is recorded decides what can be reported later.
- A new site raises questions your CPA will want answered before the lease.
- Reporting duties and regulatory records are often the same records.
Regulation
What applies, who enforces it and when it bites, designed into the plan and the system, alongside your counsel.
Our regulatory specialists inform how the strategy, the process and the system are designed, and they work alongside your own counsel. Olympas does not provide legal advice.
Questions it answers
- Which rules apply to this operation, this site, this product?
- What has to be in place before we open, launch or scale?
- How do we keep evidence of compliance without slowing the day?
What we deliver
- A regulatory map for the initiative: what applies, who enforces it, when it bites
- Controls and records designed into the process and the system
- Licensing and inspection sequences built into the programme plan
- Working sessions with your own counsel
Where it meets the others
- What applies to the site decides the permitting sequence.
- Controls are easiest to keep when the process does them for you.
- The same evidence often serves both the regulator and the return.
Business Development
The next market, channel or offer, with the operating changes it will demand.
Questions it answers
- Which market, channel or partner is worth the next year of effort?
- What does the offer need to be, and what does it cost to deliver?
- Who do we need to reach, and what has to be true to close?
What we deliver
- A market and channel assessment with the numbers behind it
- Offer and pricing design the operation can actually deliver
- Partner and pipeline plans with owners and dates
- The operating changes the growth will demand, named early
Where it meets the others
- A new offer only works if the operation can deliver it at that price.
- A growth plan becomes a programme: dated, owned, measured.
- Entering a market may mean a site, and a site is a project.
And more
The six above are where the practice is deepest. Bring the problem as it is.
Questions it answers
- Does the problem fit none of the six neatly?
- What else does the plan need that nobody has named yet?
What we deliver
- A plain answer on whether we can cover it, before any engagement starts
- The right mix of the six, scoped to the problem in front of you
- Engineers from the same house when the answer is software
Where it meets the others
- Whatever the mix, one plan and one owner.
- Most problems that fit no category turn out to be a process.
One initiative, every discipline
Pick an initiative. Watch the disciplines engage.
The same programme shape runs under every engagement: diagnose, design, deliver, run. Which disciplines engage, and when, depends on the initiative. The engineers join when the plan needs software.
Typical initiatives
Open a new site or facility
Property leads. Regulation and tax gate the date. The engineers arrive when the fit-out meets the systems.
The typical shape of an engagement, not a delivered project. Your initiative gets its own plan.
Enter a new market
Business development leads. Regulation and tax shape the entry. Process and the engineers make the offer deliverable.
The typical shape of an engagement, not a delivered project. Your initiative gets its own plan.
Rebuild a core process
Process leads. Tax and regulation design the records in. The engineers build the system the new process needs.
The typical shape of an engagement, not a delivered project. Your initiative gets its own plan.
Run a capital or infrastructure project
Project management leads with property. Regulation runs the length of it. Process and the engineers take over at handover.
The typical shape of an engagement, not a delivered project. Your initiative gets its own plan.
Launch or replace a core system
Process leads the design, the engineers lead the build. Tax and regulation set what the system must record.
The typical shape of an engagement, not a delivered project. Your initiative gets its own plan.
Forward Deployed Engineers
When the answer is software, the pod deploys.
Our engineers sit inside your operation and build what the plan needs, led by the consultants who wrote it. Business, tax and regulatory specialists guide how we design and build.
The pod docks beside your operations and stays for the length of the engagement.
- Engineers on your floor, not in a ticket queue
- One operational problem at a time, with the number that proves it is solved
- Business, tax and regulatory considerations designed in from the start
- Hand over, or stay: you keep the system and the know-how
How we engage
Four ways to start. One way to end.
Every model ends the same way: the result in your hands, the know-how with your people. Pick the shape that fits the problem; it can change as the problem does.
What you get
A short, fixed engagement around one question. The current state written down plainly, the options with their numbers, and a recommendation with a plan behind it.
How it ends
A decision you can act on, with us or without us.
What you get
We run the initiative: owners, schedule, vendors, permits, decisions and the weekly truth. Your people stay in their jobs while the work gets done.
How it ends
The result in operation, and the plan in the hands of the people who run it.
Forward Deployed Engineers
What you get
Consultants and engineers inside your operation, building what the plan needs: the process, the records, the software, on your floor.
How it ends
Handover of the system and the know-how, or the pod stays for the next problem.
Meet the engineersWhat you get
A standing seat at the table for the decisions that keep coming: the next site, the next market, the next process, the next system.
How it ends
Whenever you say. The work product is yours throughout.
